    <p>A course site is the official worksite for a particular academic course for an institution that can be linked to a database (such as a registrar's) to automatically populate its roster. </p>
<p>Course sites usually contain a selection of tools and resources provided by the instructor so that students can access course materials, interact with other site participants, and submit work. </p>
